Effect of 3 Single Doses of Trazodone on QTc Interval in Healthy Subjects.

ABSTRACT: This study evaluated the effect of 3 doses of a trazodone hydrochloride 6% oral drops solution on the QT interval of healthy volunteers. Subjects were randomly assigned to receive a single dose of trazodone 20 mg, 60 mg, and 140 mg, moxifloxacin 400 mg, and trazodone-matched placebo in 5 periods separated by 7-day washouts, according to a double-blind, crossover study design. Subjects were monitored continuously, and triplicate ECGs were extracted from baseline (predose) until 24 hours postdose. Blood samples for trazodone and moxifloxacin analyses were collected at the same time points. The concentration-QTc relationship assessed on placebo-adjusted change from baseline for Fridericia-corrected QT (ΔΔQTcF) was the primary end point. ΔΔQTcF values of 4.5, 12.3, and 19.8 ms for the 20-, 60-
